Building by the beach is the dream—but it comes with challenges that demand experience, precision, and a deep understanding of coastal codes and permitting.

At JCC Construction Group, we’re currently framing a custom home on the coast of Pacific Palisades, rebuilding after fire damage. With breathtaking ocean views and high-value property at stake, this project requires more than just a hammer and nails—it demands planning, permitting expertise, and structural craftsmanship.

Here’s what it takes to build strong and smart by the ocean.

🔥 Rebuilding After Fire: Permits, Codes & Compliance

This isn’t just a new build—it’s a fire rebuild, which means we’re working under:

Special zoning restrictions from the City of Los Angeles
Coastal Commission oversight
Post-fire safety engineering
Expedited rebuild permit processes

The home was previously damaged in one of California’s recent fire seasons. That means we’ve had to coordinate closely with LADBS and CalFire to meet all rebuild requirements—while respecting the original structure’s footprint and the homeowner’s vision.

🌴 Coastal Construction: Why It's Different

✅ Salt Air + Moisture = Material Challenges

We use pressure-treated wood, galvanized fasteners, and sealed structural steel to resist rust, warping, and decay.

✅ Elevated Engineering Requirements

Coastal homes require:

Stronger wind resistance framing
Fire-rated materials
High uplift anchors and hold-downs
Extra care with glass openings and open-concept designs

We integrate these structural demands into our framing from day one, avoiding costly mid-build changes.

🛠️ What We’re Building in Pacific Palisades

Custom 3-story coastal home
Elevated living room with floor-to-ceiling ocean-facing windows
Multi-level deck framing
Steel beam integration for wide-open interior layout
Framed to meet WUI (Wildland Urban Interface) codes and Title 24 compliance

Our crews are framing everything to architectural spec, while making sure every wall and joist also complies with fire safety and coastal engineering standards.

👷 How JCC Makes It Work

We’re not just builders—we’re planners. On this project, we:

Worked directly with LADBS to reopen historical permits
Coordinated with fire safety consultants and structural engineers
Met with the homeowner and architect weekly to adapt in real time
Maintained a tight timeline despite complex approvals

Our leadership, including the CEO and Carlos, are personally involved on site—walking the property, overseeing framing, and ensuring every detail is aligned.
